Managing Change in the Face of Crisis – Turbulent change, mergers, downsizing, low trust, and poor communication exact a heavy price on organizational performance. Principle-centered leadership is the key to unleashing individual human potential. It is about instilling principles into the hearts and minds of people, then into the culture, where they begin to permeate and affect all relationships. Successful leadership, Dr. Covey teaches, inspires people to commit to a common vision, a common purpose and a common set of principles, thereby giving a clear sense of direction. This is the surest way to create strength and success while making change in today’s volatile, whitewater world.

Dr. Covey’s session will cover new ground for participants, and they leave ready to abandon existing unproductive habits for more effective thinking and practices.
